Javascripts seem to run faster than Applescripts in Adobe Illustrator. Is
there a simple way (i.e. idiot's way) of converting an Applescript to a
Javascript?

Not without rewriting the script, no. How big is the script you want to
convert?

Cheers,

Could be easy then, but it depends on what those 7 lines are doing :-)
Can you post the script here?

Here it is:

property schnibbleSize : 2

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
if current document is {} then return
tell current document
set g to every path item whose editable is true and width < schnibbleSize
and height < schnibbleSize
set selection to g


end tell
end tell
